PAPER BOARD DISPLAY STAND Filed Feb 6, 1957 5M1? erze M6225 c/ZZZ ted2,941,713 PAPER BOARD DISPLAY STAND Filed Feb. 6, i957, Ser. No. 638,5004 Claims. (Cl. 248174) The principal object of this invention is toprovide an improved paper board display stand, which is formed from asingle piece of paper board, which may be readily and quickly erected byfolding into a three-dimensional stand, which is self stabilizing andheld in erected position, which includes a vertically extending rearpanel, a base panel extending forwardly from the bottom of the rearpanel, a platform extending forwardly from the rear panel, a riserextending vertically between the platform and the base panel, and wingsextending rearwardly from the riser underneath the platform forstabilizing the platform and the stand, wherein objects to be displayedmay be placed upon the platform and the base panel, wherein advertisingcopy may be placed upon the rear panel and the riser, and which may beinexpensively manufactured.

Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent tothose skilled in the art upon reference to the accompanyingspecification, claims and drawing in which:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the paper board display stand of thisinvention erected into three-dimensional position;

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view through the erected display standtaken substantially along the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the display stand showing the same as itis being erected;

Fig. 4 is .a plan view of the paper board blank from which the displaystand is erected.

The paper board display stand of this invention is generally designatedat and it is formed from a single sheet of paper board 11 or the like,and it may have any desired external configuration, a simple rectangularconshown for purposes of illustration. The

ing or the like.

A first told line 16 extends transversely between said first ends of thefirst pair of slits 12, a second fold line transversely between of slits15. Fourth and fifth fold lines 21 extend longitudinally between saidfirst ends of the first pair of slits Patent 12 and the inner ends ofthe fourth pair of slits 15. These I told lines 16, 17, 18 and 21 may beformed in able manner as by scoring or the like.

The portion of bounded by the slits 12 and the forms a platform 19. Theboard bounded by the fold riser 20 for the platform 19. The portions ofthe sheet of paper board bounded by the slits 13, 14 and 15 and the foldline 21 form a pair of wings which extend laterally any suitboard 11,

In erecting the paper board stand into three dimensional position fromthe two-dimensi0nal position shown in Fig. 4, the paper board sheet isfolded along the fold lines 16, 17, 18, 21 and 23, as indicated in Fig.3, until wings 22 are then folded rearwardly to a position underneaththe platform 19, as

complete stand are stabilized in the erected three-dimensional positionthe base panel 25, and for purposes of illustration there is shown abottle 26 resting upon the platform 19.

As shown in the drawing, the platform same dimensions as the riser 20and, therefore, lines 23 are in alignment I tween the fold lines 17 and23 correspond to the longitudinal spacing between the fold lines 16 and18. In this be provided lines for 0hpaper board, may be inexpensivelyslitted and scored with a minimum number of operations, may haveadvertising copy readily applied thereto when in two-dimensionalcondition, and may be readily erected to three-dimensional While forpurposes of illustration, one form of this invention has been disclosed,other forms thereof may become apparent to those skilled in the art uponreference to this disclosure and, therefore, this invention is to belimited only by the scope of the appended claims.

I claim as my invention:

1. In a single .piece, three-dimensional, paper board display stand, asingle sheet of paper board having a first pair of longitudinallyextending spaced apart substantially parallel slits, a second pair oflongitudinally extending substantially parallel slits spaced fartherapart than the first pair of slits and on opposite sides thereof, athird pair of transversely extending aligned slits extending between oneend of each of the first pair of slits and one end of each of the secondpair of slits, a fourth pair of transversely extending aligned slitsextending inwardly from the other ends of the second pair of slits, afirst fold line extending transversely between said first ends of thefirst pair of slits, a second fold line extending transversely betweenthe other ends of the first pair of slits, a third fold line extendingtransversely between the inner ends of the fourth pair of slits, fourthand fifth fold lines extending longitudinally between said first ends ofthe first pair of slits and the inner ends of the fourth pair of slits,and sixth and seventh fold lines extending transversely outwardly beyondthe pairs of longitudinally extending slits and longitudinally spacedfrom the second fold line a distance correspon 'ng substantially to thedistance between the first and third fold lines.

2. A single piece, three-dimensional, paper board display standcomprising, a single sheet of paper board having a first pair oflongitudinally extending spaced apart substantially parallel slits, asecond pair of longitudinally extending substantially parallel slitsspaced farther apart than the first pair of slits and on opposite sidesthereof, a third pair of transversely extending aligned slits extendingbetween one end of each of the first pair of slits and one end of eachof the second pair of slits, a fourth pair of transversely extendingaligned slits extending inwardly from the other ends of the second pairof slits, a first fold line extending transversely between said firstends of the first pair of slits, a second fold line extendingtransversely between the other ends of the first pair of slits, a thirdfold line extending transversely between the inner ends of the fourthpair of slits, fourth and fifth fold lines extending longitudinallybetween said first ends of the first pair of slits and the inner ends ofthe fourth pair of slits, and sixth and seventh fold lines extendingtransversely outwardly beyond the pairs of longitudinally extendingslits and longitudinally spaced from the second fold line a distancecorresponding substantially to the distance between the first and thirdfold lines, said single sheet of paper board being folded along saidsixth and seventh fold lines and forming a vertically extending rearpanel and a forwardly extending base panel, being folded along saidfirst, second and third fold lines and forming a forwardly extendingplatform and an upwardly extending riser therefor, and being foldedalong said forth and fifth fold lines and forming wings extendingrearwardly under the platform for stabilizing the platform and thestand.

3. A single piece, three-dimensional, paper board display standcomprising, a single sheet of paper board which is slitte-d and foldedand which forms a vertically extending rear panel, a base panelextending forwardly from the bottom of the rear panel, a platformextending forwardly from the rear panel, a riser extending verticallybetween the base panel and the forward edge of the platform, and a pairof wings extending rearwardly and inwardly from the sides of the riserunderneath the platform for stabilizing the platform and the stand.

4. A single piece, three-dimensional, paper board display standcomprising, a single sheet of paper board which is provided withlongitudinally and transversely extending slits, transversely extendingfolds extending outwardly from the slits and forming a verticallyextending rear panel and a base panel extending forwardly from thebottom of the rear panel, transversely extending folds extending betweenthe slits and forming a platform extending forwardly from the rear paneland a riser extending vertically between the base panel and the forwardedge of the platform, and longitudinally extending folds extendingbetween the slits and forming a pair of wings extending rearwardly fromthe sides of the riser under neath the platform for stabilizing theplatform and the stand.
